I wouldn't bother with the isdigit() call, but use try..except ValueError, TypeError instead: isdigit would return True for digits that int() would still fail to convert, for example . It is unlikely that this would happen in real world, but it is theoretically possible.

I would also add a unit test for this change.

content_length = int(raw_content_length)
self.label_metric(self.metrics.requests_body_bytes, request).observe(content_length)
request.prometheus_after_middleware_event = Time()
